Tops Markets LLC is spreading its grocery chain, saying Thursday that the company has bought three stores in Upstate New York.

Williamsville-based Tops is purchasing Big M markets located in Elbridge, Mexico, and Jordan, N.Y. The stores are owned by the Farrugia family. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

This marks the third acquisition deal this year for Tops, which counts 151 stores.

“We are excited about this growth opportunity for Tops, as we bring these new stores into the Tops family,” said Frank Curci, Tops Markets’ president and CEO, who said the added stores are a natural addition to the company’s footprint.

The sale is expected to close by Dec. 31, 2012.
